Political Leason

Since the school has made me look bad I have found myself trying to explain Politics to my daughter a little more than in the past. I am not a very political person and the only advice I give is to make sure you know what you believe and vote for that person you are closest to on that belief system.
The other day My daughter’s friend was over and we were having a typical conversation about school and I turned it around for a political party leason. My daughters friend studies really hard and gets very good grades. My daughter hates to study and of course her grades are showing it lately. They had a test last week that I know Tina studied hard for, but I think Ash only opened the book once and fell asleep. Tina said she scored a 98 on the test where Ash only got a 62. (Yes I was pissed)
I started talking to the girls about Democrates and Republicans and what the difference was so I said, “Tina, Ash Failed her test with a D, but you got an A+. How about if you go to the teacher and ask the teacher if you can take 18 points off of your score and give it to Ash? This way you both have 80 on the test and you will have a B-.”
Ash said real fast, “That would be great then I wouldn’t have to stay after school and retake the test.”
Tina quickly said, “I studied to hard and did really good on my test but I deserve the grade I received, it wouldn’t be fair to take the points off my grade when Ash didn’t study.”

Of course my response to them was, “Tina you are Republican, Ash you are a Democrate…”
